WARNINGS

1. The bogus web page had been removed before we could take a snapshot and analyze the code, but we expect that it would have contained a form to cancel the order (as is the case in previous scams of this nature) where you would be required to provide your credit card details to do so. Information provided like this is then almost always captured by a form to mail script and then sent to an email address for the fraudsters to collect at their leisure.
2. The domain used for the links is no longer visible on the internet suggesting that it was specially created for the purpose of running this scam.

 

" Thank you for your order! You order summary: IBM ThinkPad R50 Intel Pentium 1700 Mhz "...

 

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
